Saw it today and I loved the 3D. I hate gimmicky 3D, so I was very pleased with this.

I am liking this trend of well done 3D re-releases. Animated re-releases (The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc) look terrific, but if more live action movies are converted properly I will definitely spend the money to watch it. Also, it gives young-ish audiences like myself to view classics on the big screen (I am super grateful I got to see Raiders of the Lost Ark on IMAX last year! )

So I said that I would watch this movie in 3D back home, but I visited the Empire State today and found out that there was an IMAX 3D theater close to the landmark. Something with Kipbay. Started at 10 PM and I was right on time . It was a freaking huge theater lol. The screen/room was also very large (biggest screen I've ever seen ). It was kinda empty, only like 20 people in the entire theater . I guess because it was a late night show on a Sunday.

But it was a nice experience. I expected more of the 3D. The 3D really didn't add anything to the movie experience... No nice effects or anything.

Twenty years later, "Jurassic Park" has joined the billion-dollar club -- thanks to a 3D re-release that has brought in more than $65 million globally since Universal rolled it out on April 5.

Also helping: The Steven Spielberg dinosaur film opened No. 1 in China, with a $6.3 million first day Tuesday. Overall, the 3D version has taken in $20 million internationally.

The original "Jurassic Park" took in roughly $970 million in worldwide grosses when it debuted in 1993. If you add in the grosses from the re-release -- and most box-office tracking services don't -- the total comes to $1.03 billion.

Whether the milestone is legit in the record books, the re-release has been a financial winner for Universal. Between the Stereo D conversion and marketing, the studio probably spent about $30 million.

"Jurassic Park" was a bona fide blockbuster when it came out. It topped another Spielberg film, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," to become the highest-grossing film up to that time. Two sequels followed, "The Lost World" in 1997 and "Jurassic Park 3" in 2001.

Sorry to go a little of-topic, why does the thread have a title that indicated a re-release on July 19th, 2013?

The movie arrived in theaters in April, and I think the Blu-ray 3D followed only a couple weeks later. So what is the "re-release" in the title of the thread referring to?

I think it's referring to the theatrical re-release in April.

"She came along the alley and up the back steps the way she always used to. Doc hadn't seen her for over a year. Nobody had. Back then it was always sandals, bottom half of a flower-print bikini, faded Country Joe & the Fish t-shirt. Tonight she was all in flatland gear, hair a lot shorter than he remembered, looking just like she swore she'd never look."
